Tempers among residents are running high. Many told the Miami Herald in May that they had to wait half an hour for their cars even though developer Harvey Hernandez promised the cutting-edge system would deliver their rides in less than 10 minutes.

“We ask that everyone remain calm,” the building’s management wrote Thursday to Brickell House’s 374 unit owners in an email obtained by the Herald. “This is not the time to panic, sell your unit, or move out. This is a time for patience.”

Boomerang said in court papers that one of its lenders, a company called Parking Source that is controlled by Hernandez, had stopped funding its operations. Boomerang is seeking at least $25 million in damages against Parking Source, and alleges that the company is trying to steal its employees and ruin its business.

The messy financial relationship between Hernandez and Boomerang has left Brickell House residents in the lurch.

In November, according to the email from Brickell House management, Boomerang suddenly demanded an extra $100,000 “without any supporting documentation,” in addition to its monthly $50,000 fee.

Without the payment, the email said, “Boomerang would shut down the operations of the parking garage.”
